I’m a fan of the first season of this Comedy Central series, but never got around to watching the second or third seasons. The network pulled the plug after the third season, which prompts the events of Drawn Together: The Movie: The Movie!

If you’re not familiar with Drawn Together, the premise is that a group of cartoon icons are living in a house making a reality TV series. As the movie begins, the series has been taken off the air and the housemates come to realize, as their swearing is no longer bleeped and their nudity no longer blurred, that they are no longer on TV. A little detective work shows that they’ve been replaced by the South Park-like Suck My Taint Girl, a filthy cartoon with a message, unlike Drawn Together, which is just, you know, filthy.

If you are familiar with Drawn Together and not offended by its politically incorrect and joyous embrace of filth and obscenity, there’s little doubt you’ll love the movie version. The freakshow antics and uninhibited sex and violence are all amped up way past 11, but the characters are intact from the TV series and the events proceed in quite a logical, if dirty as hell, manner. New character Suck My Taint Girl is a welcome addition to the cast, and the robot assassin I.S.R.A.E.L. (voiced by Family Guy’s Seth McFarlane) provides all the hilarious and apt political subtext you could ask for. Comic book fans may appreciate (or be infuriated by) a superfast look at how some more familiar icons, like Aquaman, Batman and Robin and others have interacted with the world of Drawn Together. Hint: There is a blumpkin involved.

I liked Drawn Together: The Movie: The Movie!, although I can understand and even respect anyone who prefers to give the entire thing a pass. It’s wicked, dirty entertainment with nothing wholesome on its mind. It made me laugh a few times and smirk a few others, and it is a worthy companion to the TV series. The special features are well worth checking out if you’re a fan, especially for the look you get at the voice actors who portray the characters. They all seem to be having a great time, and some even seem eager to make more Drawn Together. That would be okay with me.
